This is a painfully beautiful series from start to finish.
At its core, the series is about humanity. Each character is flawed in their own way. Each character has his or her own selfish motivations. There is no "good guy" and no "bad guy." There are only "people." Some better than others, and some worse. Some receiving more focus, and some less. But people all the same.
This being the last volume in the series does not change that pattern. I consider the ending to be a satisfying conclusion, but the characters don't all magically morph into perfect people so that we can have a "happily ever after." Life goes on, with both the good and the bad. While we don't end up in a depressing hellscape, we also don't end up in a world of rainbows and unicorns. Despite this- or perhaps even BECAUSE of this- I really did find the series to be something beautiful, and one that I can strongly recommend to anyone.
